Borders concern much more than territorial lines and are constantly being reconfigured according to continual interactions between various agents. Boundaries between countries, species, or individuals often reflect local perspectives, influencing the recognition and control of plant pests. The study of the Moroccan locust (<i>Dociostaurus maroccanus</i>) surge, which occurred in the Iberian Peninsula between 1898 and 1905, allows us to discuss the relevance of considering those different perceptions to understanding the effectiveness of past measures.

Inhabiting Siza
Debate:
Inhabiting Siza and the geographies of Architecture, 5PM
Exposição:
Inhabiting Siza: architecture as seen by its residents, 7PM (10 September — 3 November)
The Inhabiting Siza research project, coordinated by Eduardo Ascensão (CEG-IGOT), Paulo Catrica (IHC — NOVA FCSH) and André Carmo (CICS.NOVA — University of Évora), culminates with the exhibition Inhabiting Siza: architecture as seen by its residents, as part of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale. The opening is scheduled for 7pm on 10 September.
The exhibition looks at the way residents of housing designed by Álvaro Siza experience, and interact with, their apartments’ spatial layout, the buildings’ public spaces and housing micro-technologies as well as their buildings’ social status as tourist attractions in their everyday life. It aims to cover the research gap on Siza’s architecture related to the lack of knowledge on residents’ reception and appropriation of his architecture. It is focussed on three sites situated across the social and wealth spectrum, from the low-income population for whom the Bouça estate in Porto was originally designed, to the low-to-middle income population of Malagueira in Évora, through to the very high-income population of Terraços de Bragança in Lisbon. The research used an ethnographic approach, with in-depth interviews, ethnographic ‘house visits’ and elicitation of ‘residents in action with his/her home’ through video and photography sessions.
Before the opening of the exhibition, at 5pm, there will be a debate — Inhabiting Siza and the geographies of Architecture. It will begin with interventions by Eduardo Ascensão (CEG-IGOT), Ana Catarina Costa (CEG-IGOT / FAUP), Ricardo Agarez (Iscte-IUL), and Loretta Lees (Boston University, via online). This will be followed by the lecture “Doing words with things: The politics and poetics of Elemental’s social housing schemes”, by Ignacio Farías (Humboldt University).

The book authored by José Neves and Leonor Pires Martins, the result of the exhibition on the life and legacies of Amílcar Cabral, will be presented by José Neves and Flávio Almada as part of the commemoration of Cabral’s centenary in Coimbra.
Cabral Ka Mori
Esta sessão de apresentação insere-se no ciclo “Amílcar Geração e Comemorações em Coimbra do Centenário de Amílcar Cabral”, que se prolonga até 13 de Setembro, e faz parte da oficina “Como manter Amílcar Cabral vivo“.
Sobre o livro:
Amílcar Cabral foi, por direito próprio, uma figura destacada do século XX. Ao longo das últimas décadas, o sentido da vida de Cabral foi alvo de inúmeras interpretações, de diversos usos e até de renovado interesse. A sua memória permanece viva no século XXI. «Amílcar Cabral, Uma Exposição» nasceu como mais um modo de usar este legado, com o Estado português a fazer dele um motivo de comemoração histórica, por ocasião dos 50 anos do 25 de Abril.
O livro‑catálogo que daí resulta, da autoria dos historiadores José Neves e Leonor Pires Martins, comissários da exposição, percorre 50 peças que nos levam a momentos e lugares da vida de Amílcar Cabral, mas também indiciam o tempo, o espaço e a experiência de quem o conheceu, vigiou, admirou, filmou, retratou ou cantou. O agrónomo e líder das lutas de libertação está omnipresente neste projecto que leva o seu nome, mas muitos momentos têm protagonistas próprios, da fotógrafa italiana Bruna Polimeni ao músico angolano David Zé, passando pelo líder cubano Fidel Castro, falando‑nos também de liberdade, luta anti-colonial e descolonização.
Inclui também textos de Alfredo Caldeira, Aurora Almada e Santos e Ricardo Santos & Miguel Fevereiro.
